I dont understand what i am doing wrong. I can copy the dvd onto my hard drive but for some reason i can not burn a copy of it. Every time i try to burn a dvd using Clonedvd2 i get the message "Please insert a recordable media into drive D:" I am using Memorex 8x DVD-R dics. Some one please help me. Im probably just a retard but idk. im getting irritated
yes, as neph stated..need to know model and make of your burner, secondly, your reason COULD also be media related...memorex is considered some of THE WORST media here on AD as well as MANY other sites. CMC MAG is probably the manufacturer of your discs and i would suggest trying some BETTER media once we get the drive to recognize it~ need more info
"I am using Memorex 8x DVD-R dics" have you alway's had this prob...I mean have you previously used these dics to burn with this writer if not I would seriously try a different brand I personally go to wally world and purchase spindles of [bold]maxell that say manuf.in japan[/bold] they are ritekG05 from what I hear they are a quality manufacturer as opposed to memorex
i hate to say it but i have tried memorex and i really didn't have any problems with them when burning with dvd decrypter....but i agree with L8nights...either get verbatim, fuji, maxell, or sony....good luck
This is only one common problem of memorex and poor quality media. You may be able to get your drive to recognize the media by updating your f/w but if you are eventually able to burn to it, you may experience playback problems, if not right after the burn, down the road depending on who actually made that batch. Although some get by useing memorex most don't recommend it. Mort
theres no reason to put your self down.Just try whats suggested and i'm sure a result is forthcoming. 99% of the population have problems with thie media and those 1% that dont must have luck on there side or are using memorex brand products to complete there projects
hang in there, we just need a little bit more info to help you get started, as i am part of the 99% that andmerr was referring to, i guess i am very biased towards my hatred of Memorex media. but on a brighter note, Memorex DOES make a decent product in it's Opticloth/Opticlean computer cleaning cloths~ but i figure it's because there is nothing TECHNICAL about putting something like this together~ hahaha...it's supposed to CLEAN optical media, but that will do you ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD if the optical media of choice is Memorex, all the cleaning in the world will not bring them back to life~ sometimes their products do NOT work well together~

well since you have those memorex here you go: DVD Burners With a Memorex DVD drive you can burn music, photos and videos to DVDs or CDs and much more! With your imagination, you can take your favorite digital photos and add music to create cinematic slideshows, turning your computer into the ultimate digital theater with the highest quality video playback available for your PC. [bold] if its anything like there discs dont think they are going to last[/bold]
just use their optiwipes and give the discs and burner a good wiping~ inside and out~ ok ok...will wait until original poster gives us some more info on his setup~ ill keep my anti-memorex comments to myself for the remainder of this thread~
The memorex dvdrw is a rebadged lite-on SOHW-1673S or SOHW-1693S (can't remember which one) and got top review in PC magazine. Too bad same can't be said for their media (usually rebadged cmc mag) hehe.
I tried using maxell dvd-r discs and i am getting the same message. I have a TSST corp CDRW/DVD TSL462C drive. Its a brand new computer so idk. Any help is appreciated! Thanks
Are you sure that drive is a dvd burner? Looks more like a combo cdrw/dvd-rom drive. In other words it will read cd's and dvd's but only burn cd's. I'll look into it some more. Mort
you're probably right. it is probably not a dvd burner drive. The computer people told me that it would burn DVDs. And the program that came with the computer says "Burn CDs and DVDs with Sonic DigitalMedia LE" but again, I dont know. Im so not a computer whiz.
@Mort81 The only thing I can find on this drive relates to it being a combo drive in a Dell Inspiron http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=insp_cdrom&message.id=41705
